<p>There is a old Post war railroad sign that showed two colors, red for blood and danger and black for death admonishing people not to try and beat the train.</p><p>The short skid marks immediately before the impact indicates to me that the driver probably knew he was done and whatever happens is going to either kill or hurt.</p><p>As far as Im concerned these kids paid the price for thier foolishness. They wont be the last to pay it. Society today is not family centric and has eroded quite a bit since the 50's we will continue to see our young folk lose thier life or futures with these kinds of wild and foolish behavior.</p><p>My resolve is only hardened by my own experiences and frankly I should not be allowed to have had the life I did. Im just sad for the parents who must live with the loss every day wondering what could have been done to save thier children's lives. I dont think that the children were destined to follow the laws and stay home and obey the rules anyway so the blame must rest with them regardless of thier age.</p><p>What I do hope is that the remaining survivors walk out of the hospital, heal at home and work to help others thier age to prevent any more accidents of this nature.</p><p>That train should have been split at the crossing, but I leave that up to the court to decide. That is why we have Judges and Jury.</p><p>Those Jeep Cherokees are plastic and break easy. Not exactly a choice for a joyride. But they took what was availible regardlesss of what the laws, permissions or licensing.</p>
